Just because youre on a budget dont mean you cant have great food. All you need is a little patience & you can have crispy, pan fried chicken any night of the week! I used boneless chicken thighs, tho any cut of chicken works.

Ingredients

60 mins
4 servings
  1. 8boneless chicken thighs (or any other part of chicken)
  2. 1 cupflour (this is for breading chicken, you can use more)
  3. 1/2 cupcorn meal
  4. 3-4eggs
  5. 1/3 cupmilk
  6. Hot sauce
  7. Oil for frying

Cooking Instructions

60 mins
  1. 1

    Lay your chicken in a bowl & season with salt and pepper, i use season salt.

  2. 2

    Fill a heavy (preferbaly copper bottom) bottom frying pan with oil about 1/4 full, & turn heat on medium. Use a candy thermomator to guage the temp, you want it to be 350° before you drop the chicken in.

  3. 3

    Put flour & corn meal in a zip lock bag along with pepper and salt.

  4. 4

    Crack eggs in a bowl and mix with milk and hot sauce and pepper well. This is your egg wash.

  5. 5

    When your oil is at 350°, take a chicken thigh and drop it in your flour mixture and coat well.

  6. 6

    Now take that same piece of chicken and dip it in the egg wash, covering it completely.

  7. 7

    And again, put chicken back in the flour mix and cover well. The corn meal helps the batter stick to the chicken.

  8. 8

    Place chicken in oil. Remember, if you crowd the pan with chicken the temp will drop and it wont cook. The temp in the pan should drop a little with the chicken is cooking, but in order to have crispy on the outside and moist on the inside chicken the temp should stay between 325° and 350° while cooking. The temp will go up and down so keep an eye on the temp.

  9. 9

    Flip chicken every 3 minutes to make sure it cooks threw evenly. White meat cooks faster than dark meat. Chicken is done when the meat its self reads 160° for boneless chicken and 165° for bone in.

  10. 10

    *IMPORTANT*** Do NOT drain chicken on paper towels unless you want soggy chicken. Let chicken drain on a wire rack or in a strainer (like me!) Let chicken cool for 10 minutes and serve.
